Wild Pokémon, especially some powerful Pokémon, have a strong sense of territory, among which the Pokémon that live in groups are the most obvious.
For those who approach or even enter the territory of the group, and make them feel threatened, the territory Pokémon will issue a warning first, so that the approaching creatures can exit by themselves, or wait to face the group. Strong counterattack from Pokémon.
If there is no threat, the realm Pokémon may not react as strongly.
Just like a Pokémon's territory, there is only such a Pokémon impossible, a tribe also has basic food needs, and will not expel those creatures that are not a threat to them, and can even be used as a reserve of food. .
And the vicious Pokémon at the top of the ocean's food chain, like Sharpedo, take their territory seriously.
It is not surprising that creatures or things that enter their territory and make them feel threatened and violated attack.
Just.
Are the controllers of the San Annus, who have extensive marine navigation experience, do not know how to avoid the territory of some ferocious Pokémon?
As far as can't be considered not approaching, they will definitely be prepared.
The fact is that the sailors who arrived on the deck dozens of seconds later were not ready for this Sharpedo's attack.
Natsu, who was standing beside the railing at the time, did not see any phenomena such as shark fins or abnormal fluctuations in water flow.
It's like a group of Sharpedo and Carvanha approaching the San Annus from deep water, then Lock On the target and attack directly.
Of course.
This also does not rule out an attack caused by a combination of factors.
It's just that Natsu, who has experienced the Zapdos incident, the Tom Ritchie incident, and encountered so many "coincidences", has great resistance to the word "coincidence".
Natsu return to house briefly treated Beedrill's injury.
Although Sharpedo doesn't hit the Beedrill, its rough-skinned Characteristic Trait still does some damage to the close-range Beedrill.
"Although this attack strikes me as a little weird, this Sharpedo's presence is just right."
Natsu after Beedrill's wound was healed, sat in a chair, watching Poké Sharpedo in Ball is still in a coma.
Sailing at sea, without a Water Type Pokémon, can be somewhat uneasy.
The appearance of this Sharpedo solves this problem to a certain extent.
"It's not necessary to cultivate as a main battle Pokémon. This Sharpedo is not weak now, but its potential and innate talent are about the same."
Fingertip friction on the surface of the Poké Ball.
"But if it's just a Water Type 'tool' for sailing at sea, it's more than enough. Although this rough-skinned Characteristic Trait is troublesome, it's also not impossible to overcome."
"And, Maybe you can get some reasons out of this Sharpedo's mouth to see why they attacked the San Annus."
"Or more precisely, is it against someone, a certain An attack from a being."
Natsu's eyes flickered, considering the pros and cons of subduing the Sharpedo.
In his hands, apart from Beedrill, Abra and Togepi, he has to cultivate with all his strength. Many of Pidegeotto, Ditto and Shuckle are in the position of "tools".
Natsu itself has limited resources.
Although I won't treat these Pokémon badly, I won't invest much resources and energy.
He also said to the Pokémons that once they've done their job or Natsu has a better replacement, they'll be given a choice.
Give them freedom, or stay, and Natsu will make sure they don't have to worry about food in the future at least.
"Try it, if this Sharpedo is 'sightly'."
Truly.
Just put away the Sharpedo Poké Ball when there was a knock on the door.
Natsu frowned.
"Who?"
"It's me."
A woman's voice came from outside the door.
It's Gwen who lives next door.
Natsu hesitated slightly, put away a few Pokémons, leaving only Togepi, and opened the door.
Gwen, who stood outside the door in his blue sweater, showed a hint of exhaustion between his brows.
"Aren't you going to ask me to sit in?" Looking at Natsu at the door, Gwen raised her brows.
Seeing Natsu still unmoved, Gwen looked helpless.
Sighed shallowly, "What if I'm talking about pirates, or even this Sharpedo attack?"
Natsu looked at her, glanced up and down, In the end, he gave up his position sideways.
Gwen entered the door, and Natsu looked at the empty hallway and closed the door.
"tsk tsk, didn't expect you to be a boy, you are quite clean." Gwen said with a slap in the face.
"Tell me."
Gwen twitched her lips, feeling boring.
But after a little hesitation, she said, "Actually. I'm a pirate."
Pirate?
Looking at Natsu, who was still expressionless, Gwen was a little surprised, "Aren't you surprised?"
Actually, Natsu had a little guess about Gwen's identity of.
From the moment she appeared, she said that Miu and the old man were not related to grandson and grandson, and then Togepi filmed Natsu going to shake hands with her.
But the other party was a pirate, which was somewhat beyond Natsu's expectations.
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell the bosun about them?"
"Would you?" Gwen moved towards Natsu, blinking.
'That depends on whether you have been rewarded. '
Natsu muttered to himself.
However, since the other party can ride the "San Anus" safely and participate in the competition held on the ship in a grand manner, they know that the other party is safe.
"So, your purpose?"
Hearing Natsu's question, Gwen smiled, grinning happily.
Self-reported identity is also a test of her own against Natsu.
If Natsu is a big fan of Alliance, it's time for them to with swords drawn and bows bent.
But as it turns out, she was right, Natsu is a "neutral," if not a member of certain groups.
She stretched her waist long, and the curves concealed by the wide blue sweater were also vividly and thoroughly displayed at this moment.
Natsu looked away without a trace.
And seeing Natsu's performance, Gwen laughed even more.
"If you don't say anything, I don't mind letting the bosun and even the captain's mates know who you are." Natsu said with a stern face in the face of Gelwyn's playful gaze.
"Okay, okay, I surrender. In fact, my purpose is very simple. I want to invite you to join us." Gwen put away his joking expression.
"You guys?"
"You should have heard, our captain, 'Enchanted Star' Binena."
This was Natsu not long ago On the Alliance bounty list you've seen, do you reward the sixth-ranked pirate?
The bounty is 40 million Alliance Coins.
"You said you don't like fighting, but you're actually covering up your strength, right? That Sharpedo is not weak, and we arrived at the deck very quickly, only a few tens of seconds, but From the results, it didn't even take you that long to deal with that Sharpedo.
And your understanding of tactics is also very strong, definitely not just a tactical analyst, I believe our captain will like it 'You, and will 'pamp' you well." Gwen said firmly.
These accented words made Natsu sound a little weird.
But what about being a pirate?
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
This is the Pokémon world, not the pirate world. Did you go to the wrong set?
Natsu can't help but wonder.
